Atafcstiv.il in Washington city on Tuesday
night, the 18th instifit, Hon. Simon Cameron,
Secretary of War, In reply to a toast, thus Indi’
rated the policy of the Administration—we copy
from the New York Times, of the 20th :
In reply to a toast—To the health* of the Presi
dent and the Secretary of War—Mr. Cameron
responded. He said he could scarcely realize
that by the Secretary of War ho was meant him
self, for it seemed but a brief period since be
was a journeyman in the'office ot his friend on
Lho right—Col. Seaton. Speaking of the war,
he said that though three months hud not elap
sed since its inception, a quarter of a million of
volunteers were in tlie field, and in six months
the number will be increased to half a million.
Tho deluded beings in the South, whose inso
lence we have borne fora quarter of a century,
must be subdued, and the President will not let
the war end until all the causes which produced
it are. removed, and when the war terminates
we shall hear no more of Virginians as such,
or North Carolinians, or of South Carolinians,
but we shall he Americans, one and indivisible.

Extracts from Northern Papers,
From the Washington correspondence of the
Cincmnatti Timex, July 2d:
Knowing that Mr. Lincoln places every con
fidence in General Scott, one object of the radi
cals is to get a change in the Cabinet, so as to
have more radical men in it than are there now,
who will require Lincoln, as Commander in-
Chicf, to order Scott to do this and that, which
will render a reconciliation between the sec
tions impossible. They are determined that the
war shall be pushed to the bitter end—and that
is, the wiping out of slavery. Nothing 6bort
ot that will satisfy them, and they will crush
any Republican, from and including the Presi
dent down to a tide waite r, it he s Lauds m their
way.
r -— 1 Tlie Administration knows more than these
radical Republican politicians, and that know
ledge makes them conservative. They know
that if this war continues six months longer the
Government will have to disgiacc itself by rais
ing the sea blockade under threats from Eng
land, or enter upon a war with that power.—
England must and will have cotton, and can
get it nowhere hut out of the seceded States. If
site does not get it, riots and revolution will
mark the progress of famine in her own bor
ders. The Administration wants no war with
England ; the one on hand is formidable
enough. , ,
Then there will be great difficulty in raising
money to keep the war we are in agoing. The
money of New York capitalists can not be got,
except at ruinous rates. Tlie project of bor
rowing from the people in small sums is talked
of; but a leading commercial and financial pa-
* per of New York declares that the notes of the
Government, issued to obtain money in that
way, will soon depreciate to half their face, and
soon hccome as irredeemable ns tho old conti
nental currency.
The expenses of the war are euormous, and
the taxes that will have to be levied off Lho peo
ple to meet them, will make the party that in
curred them be cursed by the people and their
L posseritv.
1 The New York World has a special from For-
ifctress Monroe, stating that Colonel Allen of the
Lv'ow York First Regiment was arrested to-day
%• order of General Butler. It then states that
0|,len and other officers have arrested many
/ "'Tied Secessionists lately who have been ro-
j“£sed by Butler. Friday word came that a field
of wheat belonging to Major Thompson of the
rebel army, was being gathered to be sent to
Yorktown to tho rebels, and some had the as
surance to ask Col. Allen lor horses which had
| been confiscated to convey the wheat to the
r .enemy, which were refused, and a squad of
men sent to prevent the wheat from being ta
ken.
Soon after, the wheat field was in flames and
twenty acres destroyed. Major-General But
ler thereupon ordered Colonel Allen to report
at headquarters under arrr<t, and paraded bis
regiment under command of Lieutcuant-Col.

“The despatch further volunteers the. remark
that this and other movements of Butler
cause his loyalty to be suspected, and says it is
yumored that regular officers are preparing a
ictition for his remov.il, and that tho New York
iegiments are clamorous to have a Major-Gen-
ir.il from their own State; and, also, that all of
he officers, both regular and volunteers, will
leclinc to attack in battle under Gjui. Butler,
fhc arrest causes considerable excitement at
e Fortress.
The Tribune remarks on the above special
[at it has no doubt Colonel Allen deserved to
.arrested. He left the police Department of
rv York last fall on account of dmnkeness,
■r^thc above despatch evidently was sent by
‘^iend of Allen. It considers tho iinpu-
. uout of Butler’s loyalty absurd, as to tho ma-
,liy of the public in this city.
[*A correspondent writes to the Cineinatti

Our fare consists of the following : Break

That is the diet upon which avc are to do

after the Inauguration of President Lincoln,
and now holds a commission ns one of the As

behind until about two weeks since, when she
prepared to follow him. She procured pusses,
and knowing that her effects would be searched,
she provided for this. Her trunks were exam

A Reply to Ca*8lu«..
The ridiculous letter of Cassius Clay, to the
London Times, it will be recollected, was very
effectually answered by the Times itself. We
find, however, that Mr. Edwin DeLeon, former
Consul General to Egypt, also comes back at
Cassius la a letter to the Times, wherein he
peels off what little of Clra’s hide the Thun
derer had left. We have room only for the fol
lowing extract:
The bloody battle fields of Mexico, where
the South lurnished about. 45,000 and the North
20,000 men, can attest to Southern valor and
discipline, and tlie veterans ot the army and
navy, who have left the Federal to join the Con
federate service, are well capable of command
ing troops who have never believed that “force
was necessary” to cement fraternity, volunteer
ing as they have done, solely for defence, not
for aggression. Tlie old watchword of the
Jacobins in France’s darkest day of blood
and tears, Fratemate., on lo mart” (“ Be
tny brother or I will kill you !” is now the
rallying cry of the “ free North”—not of
the South, who stands with drawn sword beside
her own altars. Is that a watchword to enlist
her sympathies or stir the pulses of a free-born
Englishmen when a new reign of terror is sought
to be inaugurated once more under the desecra
ted name of liberty, over the smiling fields and
happy homes of the sunny South ? We cannot,
and we will not believe if. England has ever
been a generous foe; she will uot prove a faith
less friend.
The statement that “the population of the
slave States is divided perhaps equally for and
against the Union,” is without a shadow of
foundation. The secession of tlie South uow
forms a part of history, and never in tlie annals
of mankind has such entire unanimity of seuti-
ment and of action been manifested by any
people as in the formation, deliberation and ac
tion of the cotton States. Since the despotic
coup d'etat attempted by the Northern President
a me spirit lias spread like the lire on
At the beginning of the present Presidential
term, four months ago, the Junctions of the
Federal Government was found to be generally
suspended within the several States of South
Carolina. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Loui
siana and Florida, excepting tho-.c only of the
Post Office Department.
Within these States, all the Juris, arsenals,
dockyards, custom-houses and the like, includ
ing the moveable and stationary property in
ami about them, had been seized and held in
open hostility to this Government, excepting
only Forts Pickens, Taylor and Jefferson, on
and near the Florida coast, and Fort Sumter,
in Charleston harbor, South Carolina.
The forts thus seized had been pul in im
proved condition, new ones had been built, aud
armed forces had been organized and were or
ganizing, all avowedly with the same hostile
purpose. The forts remaining in the possession
ot the Federal Government m aud near these
States were either besieged or menaced
like preparations, and especially Fort Sumter
was nearly surrounded by well protected hostile
batteries, with guns equal in quality to the
best of its own, and outnumbering the latter
as, perhaps, ten to one.

ijelip the following items from thc special
ngton despatches of the N. Y. Time* :
A Culinary Bureau.—The troops and the
country, will be glad to know that the Govern
ment, through the intervention of the Sanitary
Commission, has determined to attempt a refor
matiou of the culinary department of the army.
Mr. J. M. Sanderson, la;e of thc New York
Hotel, has undertaken the charge of this import
ant branch. He will make his first reform
in thc cooking establishment of tlie Onondaga
Regiment. Mr. Sanderson is to be chief of a
bureau iu the Comtnissariy’s Department. He
will do more than any other man to save the
country.
Prisoners in the City Jail.—Upwards of
one hundred prisoners were in the city jail
here last night, awaiting trial, most of them
for alleged political offences against the United
States Government.
Disorderly* Soldif.rs.—A number of the
soldiers who have lately received their pay are
disorderly, and some disgraceful scenes of
drunkenness have occurred in the streets. It is
creditable to thc discipline of the New York
regiments, that none of their men were en
gaged in these disgraceful scenes. They are
’oubtlcss in a great degree attributable to the
elessnesB of the officers, in allowing so many
leave camp in company on visits to the
..y. Such a party of comrades generally
Jail into drinking, and almost as a matter of
course into a row.
Some of the soldiers, particularly of one of
the Pennsylvania regiments, are actuall}’ beg
ging in the streets. I saw to-day the mortify
ing spectacle of an American soldier, in the
Capital of his own nation, asking a foreign
Minister for a few pennies. This argues
either a neglect of payment by the Govern
ment, or a lack of discipline on the part ol
their officers.
Tuere is considerable talk here of holding
ihe sessions of the extra session of Congress in
secret.
There is much surprise and indignation ex
pressed at the preseut miserable cendition of
the clothing and other supplies furnished by
thc State authorities to thc Massachusetts First
Regiment. A portion of their clothes is iound
to be utterly worthless, and is dropping off
of them. The wagons are also found to be
nearly useless for active field service. It is
clear that somebody has swindled the State au
thorities. There has been gross reinissncss
somewhere in the furnishing of these materials.
An investigation should be instituted at once.
The whole ol these supplies must be thrown
aside and renewed forthwith.
What a Lady Reports.—A lady arrived here
"•t night from Richmond. She prepared to
we Virginia several days since, but from her
11-known intimate relations to leading Union
jn in Virginia, was flatly refused the courte-
of a pass from Jeff. Davis. A subsequent

IV011. Joltit E. Ward lor Ciovenior.
Albany, Ga., July S, 18C1.
J/rxxrx. Editors :—I was glad to see your qucs_
tiou, “as to what the Slate at large” would say
to the gallant Ward for Governor. I am proud
of him a.4 a Georgian, and whilst I do not wish
in any’ way to be supposed inimical to thc pres
ent incumbent, vet supposing that the old rule
of two terms will bo adhered to, and that Gov
ernor Brown will not be a candidate, I am free
to say John E. Ward would be my choice from
the whole State, for the office.
We are in the midst of stormy times. The
end of thc present war np man can foresee, and
we must see to it, that the helm of State doc9
not go inlo the hands of some worn-out politi
cian,or incompetent trickster—we.want a brave,
high-toned and intelligent mind, to guide our
councils, and aside from any questions of past
politics. The people of the State should rise
cn masse, and place him in the office. 1 will not
insult the intelligence of nnv render, by remind*
ing him of Col. Ward’s gallantry, with the noble
Bayard of the South—Commodore Tattuall—
upon the Pclho River, nor ot his soundness up
on all questions of Southern Rights—his prompt
surrender of his high position and large salary,
to rush to the aid of Georgia, when her voice
called him home, is an ample guarantee of
everything being right with him.
Years ago CoL Ward was offered the position
of candidate for thc Executive, but he modestly
declined it, but now we believe (for never a
ivord have we beard of as being spoken by him
or his particular friends showing he was a can
didate for the position,) in such times as these,
he will come to the aid of the noble State of
his nativity, with his whole heart and soul.
Why should there be auy division between
us. Let us elect some capable and honest man.
and whether l.»e is an applicant for office or not.
make him Governor. I do not of course seek
to dictate to others, but only respond for my
self and many friends here : That John E.
Ward, of Chatham, is eminently the man for the
occasion. H.
Courteny or the Enemy.
Brown, the negro thief, commander of the
U. S. troops at Fort Pickens, closed all inter
course with Gen. Bragg, because the latter re
fuses to receive communications addressed to
the commander of “troops near Pensacola.”
Butler, the bibulous bully of Fortress Monroe,
addresses Migruder, who had whipped his
troops in fair battle, as the officer in command
of “troops near Yorktown.”
But the silliest of all these acts of impotent
malice and impudence was perpetrated a few
days ago by Captain Poore, of the Brooklyn,
whose name is quite expressive of his spirit and
intellect. Captain Duncan, fConfedcrate com
mander at Fort Jackson, desired to have a
definite understanding with the commander of
the Brooklyn in regard to the status of the resi
dents at tlie Balize. and on some other matters,
which it is usual for honorable belligerents to
agree upon.
On nearing tlie Brooklyn with the flag of
truce and the Confederate flag flying from liis
boat as usual, in all communications between
belligerents, Captain Duncan was met by a boat
of the Brooklyn, commanded by an officer, who
desired to know his business. Capt. Duncan
replied that he was the commander of Fort
Jackson, and that lie desired an official inter
view with the commander of the Brooklyn.
The officer replied that he was directed not to
receive any communication from persons bear
ing the flag which Capt. Duncan bore, meaning
the flag of the Confederate States. Captain
Duncan replied that he woahl not believe Cap
tain Poore was capable ot such discourtesy,
and he requested the officer to communicate to
Capt. Poore what he said. The officer did so;
and rctnrning, stated that Capt. Poore would
have no communication with Capt. Duncan un
til he hauled down thc flag.
“Tell your captain, then, for me, that I regard
his conduct as a discourtesy unworthy of an
officer and. a gentleman, and that if he ever
comes within reach of my fort, I will takedown
/its flag for him.”—AT. O. Delia.

Icame indispensible.'
I Thi-s choice was made and declared in the in
augural address. The policy chosen looked to
ithe exhaustion of all peaceable measures before
ajrsort to any stranger oues. It sought only to
hold the public places and property uot already
wrested from the Government, and to collect
Ithe revenue, relying l'or thc rest on time, dis-
[cussion and the ballot box.
| I promised a continuance of the mails at Gov
ernment expenses to the very people who were
resisting the Government, aud it gave repeated
pledges against any disturbance to any ot the
people or any ot their rights. Of all that a
iPrcoideni might constitutionally and justifiably
[do in such cases, everything was forborne
without which it was deemed possible to keep
the Government on foot.
On the 5tli of March,the present incumbent’s
Ifirat full day in office, a letter, from Major Au-
[derson, commanding at Fort Sumter, written
on the 28th of Fcbrurry, and received at the
War Department on the 4th'of March, was by
I that Department placed Iu his hands. This
[letter expressed the professional opinion of the
writer that reinforcements could not be thrown
into that fort wilhiu the'-time lor liis relief,
rendered necessary by the limited supply of
provisions, and with a view of holding posses
sion of the same, with a force of less than 20,-
000 good and well disciplined men. This opin
ion was concurred in by all the officers of his
command, and their memoranda on tlie sub
ject were made enclosures of Major Anderson’s
letter.
The whole was immediately laid before Liont.
General Bcott, who at once concurred with Gen.
Anderson in opinion. On reflection, however,
ho took full rime, consulting with Olllcers both
ol the artny and navy, and at the end of four
days came reluctantly, but decidedly, to the
same conclusion as/ before. He also stated at
the same time that no. such sufficient force
was then at thc control of the Government, or
could be raised and brought on the ground
within thc time when the provisions in the
fort would be exhausted.
In a purely military point of view this reduc- j
cd the duty of the Administration in the ease to
the mere matter of getting 4he garrison safely
out oi the flirt. It was believed, however, that
to abandon that position under the circumstan
ces would be utterly ruiuous ; that the necessity
under which it was doue could not be fully un
derstood : that by many it would be construed
as part of a voluntary poilc}’ ; that at Lome it
would disorganize the friends of thc Union, em
bolden its adversaries, and go far to ensure to
the latter a recognition abroad. That in fact it
would be our national destruction consumma
ted. This could not be allowed.
Starvation was not 3'et upon the garrison, aud
ere it would be reached Fort Piekeus might be j
reinforced.
This list would be a clear indication of policy,
aud would belter enable the couutry to accept
the evacuation of Fort Sumter as a military ne
cessity. An order was at ouee directed to be
seut for the binding of the troops from the
steamship Brooklyn into Fort Pickens. The
order could not goby land, but must take the
longer and slower route by sea.
The first return news from the order was re
ceived just one week before the fall of Fort
Sumter. The news itself was that the officer
commanding tlie Sabiue, to which vessel the
troops had been transferred from the Brooklyn,
actimr upon some quasi armistice of the late
Administration, and of the existence of which
the present Administration, up to the time at
which the order was dispatched, had only too
vague and uncertain rumors to fix attention,
had refused to land the troops. To now rein
force Fort Piekeus, before a crisis could be
reached at Fort Sumter was impossible, render
ed so by the near exbaustiou of provisions iu
the latter named fort.
In precaution against such a conjuncture, the
Government had, a few days before, commenced
preparing au expedition, as well adapted as
miirht be, to relieve Fort Sumter, which expe
dition was intended to be ultimately used or
not, according to circumstances. The strong
est anticipated case for using it was uow pre
sented, aud it was resolved to send it forward.
■ As had been intended in this contingency, it
was also resolved to notify the Governor of
South Carolina that he might expect that an
attempt would be made to provision the fort,
and that if tlie attempt should not be resisted,
itliere would be no effort to throw In men, arms
or ammunition without further notice, or in[
cose of an attack upon the for.L This notice
was accordingly given, whereupon the fort was
attacked and bombarded to its fall, without
even awaiting the arrival of the provisioning
exnedition.
It is thus seen that the assault upon and re
duction of Fort Sumter was iu no sense a mat
ter of sell-defence on the part of the assailants.
They well knew that the garrison in the fort
could by no possibility commit aggressiou upon
them. They knew they were expressly noti
fied that the giving of bread to the few brave
and hungrj’ men ol the garrison was all which
would on that oceasiou be tempted, unless
themselves, by resisting so much, should pro
vide more.
They knew that this Government desired to
keep the garrison in the fort, uot to assail
them, but merely to maintain visible possession,
and thus to preserve the Union from active and
immediate dissolution, trusting, as hereinbe
fore stated, to time, discussion and the ballot-
box for final adjustment, anil tln*y assailed and
reduced the fort for precisely the reverse ob
ject—to drive out the visible authority of the
Federal Union, and thus force it to immediate
dissolution. That this was their object the Ex
ecutive well understood.
And having said to them in the inaugural ad
dress, “you can have no conflict without being
yourselves the aggressors,” he took pains not
only to keep this declaration good, but also to
keep the case so lree from the power of in
genuous sophistry, as that thc world shonld not
be able to misunderstand it. By tbe affair at
Fort Sumter, with its surrouudiug circum
stances, that point was reached.
Then and thereby tbe assailants of the Gov
ernment began the conflict of arms, without a
gnn in sight or in the expectancy to return the
tire, save only the few in the Fort, sent to that
harbor years before for their own protection,
and still ready to give that protection in what
ever was lawful.
In this act, disregarding all else, they have
forced upon the country the distinct issue—im
mediate dissolution or blood, And this issne
embraces more than the fate of these United
Suites. It presents to the whole family of man
the question whether a constitutional Republic
or Democracy, a government of the people by
tbe same people, can or cannot maiutain its
territorial integrity against its own domestic
foes. It presents the question whether dis
contented individuals, too few iu numbers to
control admintetratiou according to organic
law in any case, can always, upon the presences
made iu this case, or ou other pretences, or ar
bitrarily without any pretence, break up their
Government, and thus practically put an emi to
free GovermneuX upon the earth.
It forces us to ask : Is there in all Republics
this inherent anS fetal weakness? Must a
government of necessity be too strong for the
liberties of its own people, or too weak to maiu-
ns have, iu due form, claimed its protection.
These loayal citizens, this Government is j
bound eo recognize ami protect ns being Vir
ginia. ‘ ‘
Jn thc Bolder States, so-i-rulcd—in fact, the i
Middle Stales—there are those who favor a poli- ;
cy which they call armed neutrality; that is,the j
arming of those States to prevent the Union ■
forces passing one way, <>r disunion the other, I
over their soil.
This would be disunbur completed. Figura- i
s cm coming mto the L moil,
: was first adopted by thc old
e Declaration of Independence,
i-reiu the limited United Colonics were dc*
1 to be lree and independent States, but
even then the object was plainly not to declare
their independence of oue another or of the
Union, but directly the contrary, as their mu
tual pledge and their unuiml action, be7«>re, at
thc time and afterwards, plainly show. The ax-
press plighting of faith by each and all of the
original thirteen in the articles of Confedera
tion, two years later, that the Union shall be
perpetual, is most conclusive.
Having never been States, either iu substai.ee
or in name outside of the Union, whence th!*»
magical omnipotence of State rights asserting
a claim of power to lawfully destroy tho Union
itself y Much is said about the sovereign?v of
the States, but tlie word, oven, W* not’iuth *
National Constitution, nor, as is believed, hi
any of the State Constitutions. What is a .-ov-
ereignty in tlie political sense nf the t Tin :
Would it be far wrong to define it “A p 1 diieal

aiiiSt. a formidable internal attempt toover-

;r 1 world that those who can fairly carry au election can
also suppress a rebellion. The ballots are the rightful
and successful successors of bullets and when bal ots
are fairly and constitutional y decided, there can be no
successful appeal, except to badots themselves at suc
ceeding elections. Such will be a great lesson of peace,
teaching men that what they cannot take by an elec
tion, neither can they take it by war; teaching all the
lolly of being the beginners of war.
Lest there be some uneasinessua the mindsof can

proper to say, it will be bis purpose then, as ever, to be .

very injurious in effect.
Rectirrinif to the action of the Government,
it may be stated that at lir.-t a call was made for
75,000 militia, and rapidly followiuif this a pro
clamation was issued fur c losing the ports of
the insurrectionary eistrici by proceedings in
the nature of a blockade. 8o tar all was believ
ed to be strictly legal.
At this point, the itiMinv-ctionUts announced |
their purpose to enter upon the practice of pvi- j
vatecrintr.
Other calls wore made for volunteers to serve |
three years, unless sooner discharged, and also
for large additions to tbe icgular army and
navy.
These measures, whither strictly legal or*
not, were ventured upon under what appeared
to be a popular demand and a public necessity,
trusting, as now, that Congress would readily
ratify them. Il is believed that nothing has been
done beyond thc eon.-tuuiioual competency of
Congress.
Boon after tlie first call for militia, it was
considered a duty to authorize the commanding
general, in proper cases, according to liis dis
cretion, to suspend the privilege of the writ of
habeas corpus ; or, in other words, to arrest
and detain, without resort to the ordinary pro-
cesss aud form of law, such individuals as ho
might deem dangerous to tlie public safety.—
Tli is authority lias properly been exercised,
but very sparingly.
Nevertheless, tlie legality and propriety of
what has been done under it are questioned,
and the attention of the country has been called
to tbe proposition that one who is sworn to
take care, that tbe laws be faithfully executed
should not himself violate them.
Ol course some consideration was given to
the question of power and property before this
matter was acted upon. Tlie whole of the laws
which were required to be faithfully executed
were being resisted, ami falling <*f execution in
nearly one third of the Suites. Mast they be al
lowed to finally fail ol execii run, even’had it
been perfectly clear that by the use of the means
necessary to their execution some single law,
made in such extreme tenderness of the citi
zen’s liberty that practically it relieves more of
the guilty than of the innocent, should, to n
very limited extent, be violated ? To state the
question more directly, are all the laws but one
to go unexecuted, aud the government itself go
to pieces lest that one be violated ?
Even in such a case would not the official
oath be broken if tbe Government should be
overthrown, when it was believed that disre
garding thc single law would tend to preserve
it? But it was not beli.ived that this question
was presented. It wus not believed that any
law was violated.
Thc provision ol thc Constitution tlmt the
privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not
be supeuded'unless when in case of rebellion
aud invasion, the public safety may require, is
cqnivalent to a provision—is a provision—that
such privilege may be suspended when, in case
of rebellion or invasion, tlie public safety does
require it.
It was decided that we have a case of rebel
lion, and that the public safety does require
the qualified suspension of tlie writ which was
authorized N> be made. Now, it is insisted that
Congress, and not the Executive, is vested with
this power.
But the Constitution ftself is silent as to
which or who is to exercise the power; and a9
the provision was plainly made for a dangerous
emergency, it cannot be believed the framers
of the instrument intended that in every in
stance danger shonld run its course until Con-

creditors'' Did we notify them of this sage
view of our when we borrowed their money ?
If wc now recognize this doctrine, by allow
ing the secetjers to go in peace, it is difficult to
see what we can do if others choose to go, or to
extort terms upon which they will promise to
remain.
The sccedcrs insist that our Constitution ad
mits of Secession. They have assumed to make
a National Const itution of their own, in which
necessity they have either discarded or retain
ed the right of Secession, as they insist it ex
ists. If they have discarded it, they hereby
admit that on principle it ought not to be in
ours.
If they have retained it by their own con
traction of our, tlie}* show that to be consistent
they must.sccudc from oue another whenever
they* shall find it the earliest way of settling
their debts, or effecting any other selfish or un
just object.
The principle it«elf Is one of disintegration,
and upon which no Government can possibly
endure.

sented by the Attorney General. Whether there
shall be any legislation upon the subject, and
if any, what is submitted entirely to tlie better
judgment ofCongress.
The forbearance of this Government lias been
so extraordinary aud so long continued as to
lead some foreign nations to shape their ac
tions as if they supposed the early destruction
of our National Union as. probable
While this, on discovery, gave tho Executive
some concern, he is now happy to sny that the
sovereignty and rights of the United States are
now everywhere practically respected by foreign
powers, and a general sympathy with the coul-
trj’ is manifested throughout the world.
The reports of the Secretaries of the Treasury,
War and Navy will give the information in de
tail deemed necessary and convenient for your
deliberation and action ; while the Executive
and all tlie departments will stand ready to snp
ply omissions, or to communicate new facts
considered important for you to know.
It is now recommended that you give thc je-
gal means for making the contest a short and
decisive one; that you place at tho control of
Government for the work at least 400,000 men
and $400,000,000. That number of men is about
one tenth of those of proper ages within the re
gions where apparently all are willing to en
gage : and the &nm is less than tbe f.veuty-third
part of the money value owned by the men who
seem ready to devote thc whole.
A debt of six hundred millions of dollars now
is a less sum per head than was the debt of our
revolution when we came out of tiiat struggle ;
and tlie money value in the country now bears
even a greater proportion to what it was then
than does the population. Surely each man has
as strong a motire now to preserve our liber-
tles as each had then to establish them.
A right result, at this time, will be worth
more to the world than teu times the men and
ten times the money. The evidence reaching,
us from t»ic couutry leaves no doubt that the
material for the work is abundaut, and that it
needs only the hand of legislation to give it
legal sanction and the hand of the Executive to
give it practical shape and efficiency. One of
the greatest perplexities of. the Government is
to avoid receiving troops fester than it can pro
vide for them. In a word the people will save
their Government, if the Government itself will
do its part only indifferently welL
would at once deny the power and denouuce
|'he act as the greatest outrage upon State
rights. But suppose that precisely the same
act. instead of being called driving the one out;
should be called the seceding of the others from
that one, it would be exactly what the seceders
claim to do; unless, indeed, they make the point
that the one, because it is a minority, may
rightfully do what the others, because they are
a majority, may not rightfully do. These poli
ticians arc subtle and profound on the rights
of minorities. They are not partial to that
power which made the Constitution and speaks
from the preamble, calling itself “We, the peo
ple.”
It may well be questioned whether there is
to-day a majority of the legally qualified voters
of any State, except perhaps South Carolina, in
favor of disunion. There is much reason to be
lieve that the Union, men are the majority in
many, if not iu every other one of the seceded
Slates. The contrary has not been demonstrat
ed in any one of them. It is ventured to affirm
this even of Virginia and Tennessee ; for the
result of an election hfchl in militar^ camps,
where the bayonets are all on one side of the
question voted upon, can scarcely be consider
ed as demonstrating popular sentiment. At
such an election all that large class who are at
once lor the Union and against coercion would
be coerecd to vote against the Union.
It may be affirmed, without extravagance,
that thc free institutions we eujoy have devel
oped the powers and improved the condition of
our whole people beyond any example iu the
world. Of this we now have a striking and
impressive illustration.
So large an army as the Government has now
on fo#t, was never before known, without a
soldier iu it, bnt who has taken his place there
with his own free choice. Bat more than this;
there are many single regiments whose mem
bers, one and another, possess full practical
kuowledgc of all the arts, sciences, profes
sions, and whatever else, whether useful or ele
gant, is known in the world. And there is
scarcely one fronvwhich could not be selected
a President, a Cabinet, a Congress, and, per
haps, a Court, abundantly competent to admin
ister the Government itself.
Nor do I Bay thia is not true also in tbe army of onr
late friends, now adversaries, in this contest. But if it
ia, mo much better tbe reason why the Government
